She finally made it after all... to DVD! Created by James L. Brooks and Allan Burns, The Mary Tyler Moore Show is the very model of a tailor-made star vehicle. It transformed Moore from Dick Van Dyke's wacky housewife to empowered thirtysomething single woman determined to make it on her own. Moore was the anchor of a peerless ensemble who brought to life characters so indelible that three of them, Ed Asner's Lou Grant, Valerie Harper's Rhoda, and Cloris Leachman's Phyllis, would each get their own series. The 24 episodes that comprise the Emmy-winning first season (1970) hilariously set the stage for what would become one of television's most beloved sitcoms, ranked by TV Guide in 2002 as the 11th greatest of all time (it should have been higher!). The classic pilot episode is a master class of character-based comedy writing, as Mary meets her future "family" at the WJM newsroom, as well as upstairs neighbor Rhoda, with whom she would form perhaps TV's greatest female buddy team.

Among the most memorable episodes are "Support Your Local Mother," which won an Emmy for Outstanding Writing and introduced Nancy Walker as Rhoda's maddening mother, Ida. Another Emmy-winner is "Toulouse-Lautrec Is One of My Favorite Artists," in which Mary dates a height-challenged author. Lending able support in this inaugural season is a stellar guest star roster of comic actors who, like Harper and Asner, apprenticed with Chicago's legendary improvisational Second City troupe: Shelley Berman ("Divorce Isn't Everything"); Bob Dishy ("Second Story Story"); Richard Schaal ("Today I Am a Ma'am," "The Snow Must Go On," in which he plays the ill-fated Chuckles the Clown," and "Howard's Girl"); and Paul Sand ("1040 or Fight"). At this point, the characters are pretty much one-note. Mary is cute and perky, Lou Grant hard-boiled, Rhoda brash, Phyllis flighty, and Ted Knight's vainglorious anchorman Ted Baxter idiotic. But what beautiful music they all would make in seasons to come. --Donald Liebenson




Rating: - Timeless comedy
Mary Tyler Moore was always a favorite at our house when I was growing up. I was six and a half when this series debuted and remember thinking how cool Mary's and Rhoda's apartments were decorated, following the fashion styles, and laughing at Ted Baxter's antics. I also remember how cool I thought Rhoda's job was as a window dresser-and I actually went on to do that for a time years later.

I remembered the show being funny, however as an adult I am enjoying this show more than ever ... Read More

Mary, Mary, Mary....
Season 1-4 are all wonderful, why can't Fox or whoever is responsible put out the rest of the seasons?
This series stands the test of time. The clothes and hair doos might be a little dated, but the show is top notch. Great acting, great writing.

What fun to relive this classic comedy...starting at the very first program. My 11-year-old son had never even heard of the series, but is enjoying the programs every bit as much as us!

Rating: - Nostalgic!
I'm an unsual 26 year old. I LOVE the Mary Tyler Moore show. I watched a lot of Nick-at-Nite growing up and the Dick Van Dyke show, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, and I Love Lucy were staples in my house. When I saw MTM on sale for $20 one day, I had to have it. Because it's actually been many years since I've watched it, I thought I might not like it as much. But, I really did. The characters can still make me laugh. Though the plot lines aren't as stirring as some on TV today, there is something so comforting ... Read More
